1. The guy thought that many things started the renaissance. The trade, famous painters, arts and much more.
2. It was just a revolution. Only of the richest of the richest people could even tell that the renaissance was happening because the middle class regular people had no idea about it.

The Renaissance was caused because people needed money and so they began to look for ways to make money to pay for their needs. The Renaissance was evolutionary because the society changed without violence.

The Renaissance is the rebirth, life had meaning, art, literature, learning,etc. was important again. The heart of the rebirth was in Italy, because of it's high trade culture, food, textiles, ideas flowed through the streets of Italy

Italy had a rebirth in art and people began to learn and draw. Rich people were the only people who could afford education. It was a cultural revolution. A small part of the population was educated because it was only the rich so they were the only people that experienced the renaissance.

The renaissance was caused by when the group of people that traveled Rome learned new things...cultural revolution was what it was...
